Living christmas tree rental?

Hi,

Does anyone know of any setup in Ireland that offers Living Christmas Tree rental.

Basically you "rent" a real, potted, christmas tree for the festive season. Then in January they come and collect the tree, replant it and rent it out again the following year.

I'm interested in this because I much prefer a real tree, a plastic one would just depress me, but real ones aren't exactly eco-friendly.

Heres one being run in the UK http://www.thelittletreecompany.com/christmas-tree-hire/

So anyone know of anywhere doing this?

you could just buy a real potted christmas tree and then bring it ndoors for christmas and then put it back outdoors on 6th january . also repot it into a bigger pot with some compost and feed .
a real potted tree will do well to survive the temperaure shock from being in the cold and wet outdoors to being in a dry warm heated house for a month , then you need to keep a real close eye on it and water it on a daily basis too . so lots of work for the people in the house to look after it .
